​Douglasville is a city in Douglas County, Georgia, being the county seat. Douglasville is positioned roughly 20 miles west of Atlanta and is part of the Atlanta Metroplex. The historic downtown area of Douglasville features many restaurants and shops. A vivacious business area is situated in the southern portion of the city amid Chapel Hill Road and Georgia State Route 5, around the Douglas Boulevard Corridor.
 
The Fairburn Road area also holds many food stores, fast food spots, and shops. Some people moved to make way for the extension of the highway in early 2008. Douglasville’s top 10 employers according to its 2011 Comprehensive Financial Report from biggest to smallest are: Walmart, Kroger, American Red Cross, Benton-Georgia, Sam’s Club, The Home Depot, A.L.P. Lighting Components, Medine, G & L Marble, and Reflek Manufacturing.
 
The National Register of Historic Places lists downtown Douglasville’s Central Business District as a historic district. The majority of buildings in the area are one and two story Victorian era commercial design dating back to the mid-19th to mid-20th century and are set flush with the sidewalk.

What is a Wheel Stop?

Wheel stops, also known as parking blocks, are used to define how far a car should pull up in a parking spot. They serve multiple purposes such as stopping vehicles from hitting the curb or from pulling past the parking space and driving into its opposite, potentially hitting another car. 
Yellow Wheel Stops Douglasville, GA

Wheel Stop Requirements:

Wheel stops should be constructed of asphalt, timber, concrete, continuous concrete curbing, or other durable material. They should be at least six inches tall and located approximately three feet from the front of the parking space. Wheel stops need to be securely installed and maintained in order to prevent damage to nearby vehicles, machinery, or property. Functional equivalents such as raised sidewalks or surrounding curbs may be used in place of wheel stops wherever possible. 
Concrete Wheel Stops Douglasville, GA

Common Types of Wheel Stops:

  • Concrete: These are most popular and are more susceptible to cracking than other types. They’re a harder surface as well as being cheaper, but they may need to be replaced more frequently than other types of wheel stops. 

  • Plastic: These can be installed by a single person as they are very light compared to concrete. Parking blocks made from plastic can be recycled easily. They are also chemical and weather resistant and won’t chip, crack, or deteriorate from road salts or weather, so little to no maintenance is required. 
​
  • Rubber: These are usually made from recycled materials thus they are often cheap. They are reflective as well, increasing visibility at night.
